To' vfwhofra et may concern: i

B e it known that I ,HJULIaNt BAILEY, a citizenfof,thejUnitedi'States,and a resi# dentlof Coatesville, Chester count ,Pennf .sylvama, havelnvented certain' Amprove- .-ments 1n Folding Washb'asins, of which thefollowingis a speciiication. 1

My invention yrelates .to Washbasins of the type, adapted to beAmow'fably mounted adjacent an ordinary bath-tub so as to ofbeingvfolded back against the wall 'when not 1n use.

My invention comprises lcertain novel pointed out hereinafter, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawing, in which'.

Figure 1, is a sectional elevation of av tub with my improved wash basinin place thereon, showmg in dotted lines the positiony of the same-whennot in use; Fig. 2, is a planfview of a part of the tub, showing the'asin resting'thereon, and Fig. 3, is an en,- larged view illustrating adetail of my in vention.

Carried by the back rim 1 of the'tub 2 is a bracket A3, which maybesecured to said position without additional yfastening means 1n themanner, for instance, as' illustrated', in which the bracket carries areturn por.

-tion 4 engaging the under'edge of said rim. Hinged -to the bracket at 51s a member 6 having a lon ltudinal slot V7 therein, and

adapted to sald slot is the contracted end 8 of a plate 9, which plateis suitably apertured for the reception ofa wash basin 10. The

wash basin is secured to said plate by the screws-11. The plate 9extendsforwardly tov a point substantially above the front rim of thetub, and carried by said plate and adapted to rest on said front rim isa su vort 12 hinged thereto at 13 so as to fo d back against the underside of the plate l when the latter is raised :to the position shown bydotted lines in Fig. 1.

Carried by the plate 9 is a faucet 14 arranged to deliver water into thebasin, and

connecting .said faucet with the ordinary spigots of the bath-tub, whichare preferably arran ed with a common outlet, is a hose 15, w ch shouldbe long enough to render detachment unnecessary, if such conditionsition;V the structure when such l ing. beyond the pivot point oftheracket.v

I claim: i 1.' The combination of a bracket adapted to engage a'bath-tubrim, a slotted member carried thereby, anfapertured plate .hav-ina'contracted portion entering said slotte member whereby said'A late maybe adjustd) bracket, and a basin 2. The combination of a bracketadapted' to engage the rim of a bath-tub, a slotted member hinged tosaid bracket, an a ertured supporting plate having a contracte ortionentering said slotted lmember where y said structure may be adjustablewith respect to the bracket, a basin mounted in said a er-` Aturedsupporting plate, a faucet carrie by said plate, and a connectionbetween said faucet and a source of water'supply.

3. The combination of a bracket adapted tcrengage the rim at one'side ofa bath-tub, a slotted member hinged thereto, an a ertured supportingplate having` a contracte portion entering said slotted member, a basinsecured to said plate-within yits aperture, and a sup-' port on theouter end of said basin structure adapted to rest on the-rim at theopposite side of the bath-tub.

4. The combination of a bracket adapted@ to engage the rim oi abath-tub, a'slotted member hin ed thereto, a plate having a con-ltracted portion adapted to engage said slotted member, asupport for theouter'end of saidf and resting on the rim of the tub, .and a carried `bysaid. plate.

5.; combinatiomwith. a batl` tublhav-l tracted portion entering saidslotted memberv whereby said plate is adjustable with respect to saidbracket for engagement with tubs of diierent Widths, a support for theouter end of said plate, means for holding said plate in engagement withthe slotted member when adjusted, and a basin fitting the aperture of-said plate.

' 7. The combination, with a bath-tub, of a 20 bracket adapted to engagea rim thereof, a slotted member hinged thereto, a plate hav ing acontracted portion adapted to engage" said slotted member, asupport forthe outer end of said plate, said support being hinged Q5 thereto andresting on the rim of the tub, and a basin secured to said plate.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my 1 name to this specification, inthe presence of two subscribing Witnesses. Y
